#although i know ultimately it's because of conformity and fear or exclusion and also submissiveness

You know the thing about applying to jobs that have poor company culture ratings is, when messaging whoever is in charge of hiring at that particular place, I always kind of want to advertise the fact that I can turn any workplace culture around in 6 months or less, but I always stop myself because if the person hiring there is part of the problem, then they probably don't want me there.

#i kid you not I am insanely good at that #i inherited whatever gift that is from my mom and grandpa probably so on #took a coven where most members were fighting half the time and turned it into the most loyal close-knit group of friends within a month #just through fair conflict resolution #another time (the church I work at) everyone was really stagnant bad at doing things/follow through and kinda negative #now we've been aranging events and festivals charitable rallies/vigils etc no problem the whole place is more positive board meetings #are kind of FUN and so on #it's literally not even hard and I don't understand how other people are 'powerless to change' the dynamics in a group #they just fall victim to it #makes no sense to me #although i know ultimately it's because of conformity and fear or exclusion and also submissiveness #if you believe in the hierarchy extremely and don't know how/are afraid to attempt change respectfully #then you can't do anything #if you can either make change respectfully or ignore the hierarchy as a whole then you can do wonders #best way to make change is to simply be more positive. show other people how they can be more constructive. resolve conflicts #collaborate for solutions that make the negativity *no longer needed or relavant* #it's not actually hard #sometimes you have to confront people who are Being A Problem #and doing that in a non-insulting manner is probably the hardest aspect of all of this #because if you make them feel threatened/insulted #then they're just going to dig their heels in #you gotta take a friendly approach
